hey guys , i just wanted to let everyone know that i will still be shooting the open c class for soy BUT i will be shooting from the open B stake to keep things fair. i would like to apolagize for any confusion on this issue. i just wanted to compete for the fun of doing it but i guess it would be more fair to shoot from the open B stake seeing how i have shot there for a while now. if anyone thinks this isnt fair or has any issues with this please tell me or jason so i can drop out and get my money back. i promise you there will be no hard feelings at all. I understand fully and thats why i went back to the B/A stake to make things fair. hope this works out and looking forward to shooting with you all.
Travis G.

Well, I think thats not fair to u Travis. Its ur decision and obviously, ull do what u think is fair. Bottom line ive been doin this for 25 yrs. Ive been beat probably 2500 times!!!!! I started like most to become a better deer hunter. Then, I loved the competition to strive to be better and shoot against any and all shooters that I could. I played ball growing up, so competition was natural. I think if your in archery to compete and become a better shot, then u shouldnt cry and whine and get mad because u feel maybe somebody is better than u is shooting against u. Ive been beat I reckon by everybody at this club, prob everybody in state of Kentucky, and if I see Cheese Burns or Travis Gross or Michael Evans or Ken or Cole Likins, I dont say gosh its time for me to take my bow and go home. "Its not fair they are a higher class shooter than me". It goes the same for anybody crying about the young shooters like Jeremy Elliot. Jeremy Elliot is a fine young man and one of the best shots Ive ever seen in any class. I say, Im gonna have to shoot because all these people are great shooters, to beat them, a man has to have his game on. Ive still not quit after 25 yrs and never will. It makes me shoot harder, learn more, become a better shot, learn to deal with pressure, etc, etc. Most importantly, u make a new friend which is what 99% of the shooters are that I know. Most are considered my best friends in the world that I have the pleasure to know, shoot, and learn from. I didnt mean to be blunt, but its politics like this that I dont like. In life, ur supposed to grow up and become a man or women and deal with what life gives u. Im sorry if this offends anybody and if moderators think its too harsh, I'll understand that they delete this post. Thanks Jeff Whitaker
